Style Steal - Cher Lloyd

Ok, so I'm definately NOT Cher Lloyd's biggest fan after her assault to my ears with 'Swagger Jagger', but her new song with Mike Posner is definitely growing on me and I absolutely love her outfit in the video.

I think it's a really wearable outfit and is bang on trend. Here's how to get the look!



ASOS Leather Cropper Blazer
£100
Viyelle 3/4 Sleeve Undersuiter
£39
Hannah Makes Things Chunky Bow Necklace
£8
Pleated Button Front Skirt
£22.99
Fine Rib Ankle Socks
£3.50
Knitted Cuff Lace Up Boots
£39.99

She then swaps her skirt for some bright colour skinnys!
Bright Green Skinny Trousers
£30

What do you think of Cher's style?

Haul - This weeks internet purchases!

Ok so I had a bit of a rubbish day on Monday and decided to take it out on my debit card. I really love internet shopping, mainly because I'm a kid at christmas when the parcel arrives - apologies to my neighbours who are forever taking stuff in for me whilst I'm at work, home made cookies are on the way :)

Apologies in advance for my rubbish pictures, my camera is awful :(

Right, so first off is ASOS. They have a massive sale on at the moment, so I picked up some amazing boots, as I'm getting a bit bored of wearing my uggs whenever it gets slightly cold!
London Rebel Suede Clog Boot
£24 - down from £74 BARGAIN
I can't believe the price of these! They are so comfy, and they feel like such good quality too. I'm going to wear them with jeggings tucked in as they are quite fitted so I'm not going to be able to stuff my jeans in there!  I think these are also going to look good with tights and shorts/skirts/dresses pretty much everything really! Love them!

Nail Rock Designer Nail Wraps
£3.95 - down from £6.70
I've been wanting to try these for a while now, I really hope they look good! I have a big obsession with leopard print, I will let you know how I get on :)

Next up was Quiz clothing. This is the first time I've ordered something from this site, and I love the cardigan, but the jeggings I ordered gave me serious camel toe ... it was vile!

Mocha Cable Knitted 4 Button Cardigan
£22.99
I've been looking for a cardigan like this for ages, I wanted one that was nice and thick but not too pricey, and this one is perfect!

And lastly, I purchased my first MAC products. I'm not sure why I've never bought and MAC stuff before, but here are my first two purchases.
Paint Pot in Constructivist - £13.50
Bronzing powder in matt bronze - £17.50
I chose constructivist because I usually wear brown on my eyes, as I have big brown eyes and it's easy to wear. This shadow is absolutely gorgeous and it's really pigmented, I can't wait to see how it wears!

So there you have it, I went a little bit crazy on the buying but I absolutely love everything I've bought!

What's everyone else been buying?

Dress of the Week

I feel as though I should re-name this feature due to my laziness, perhaps dress of the whenever-I-feel-like-it? I'm rubbish, apologies.

My dress of the week this week is from Minnies Boutique. Fans of 'The Only Way Is Essex' will know that this is the clothing boutique owned by stars of the show Sam & Billie Faiers. As I live know where near Essex, I have been hoping that they would start selling online, and they finally have!


Heart Belt Dress
£36.99

I LOVE the back of this dress, it's so pretty :)

Team it with some statement shoes and you will be looking reem!

Asymmetric Kicks Fuchsia Kid
£80



I Love Tesco

Yes you heard me correctly, my new love affair is with high street giant Tesco, and I'm proud to admit it.
I feel I should give you a bit of a background story as to how this love affair began. I turned up at work last week completely oblivious to the fact that I was supposed to be sitting in on a very important sales meeting with Peugeot. I had completely forgotten and was wearing distressed skinny jeans and my Foo Fighters t-shirt...not a good look when your trying to selling corporate clothing! Major oops. My role before was admin, so I could pretty much turn up in my Primark all in one sleep suit and no-one would really bat an eyelid.
When I got home I decided that my wardrobe needed updating, so that I could go to work looking smart and not be caught out again!
Mother then pipes up 'Why don't you try Tesco'. I have never and will never take fashion advice from my mother, who is more than partial to a fleece and nice comfortable mules from Clarks (love her really), I decided to check it out.

I was majorly impressed! Here's what I've bought so far;
£14 - fits beautifully! The company I work for is called Purple, so this is pretty perfect.
£7 - I felt like I was stealing this to be honest!
£12.50 - Definitely not the most interesting pair of shoes I've bought, but they do have leopard print lining!

So there you have it, I am officially Tesco's number 1 fan when it comes to clothing.
